Have you noticed that no one can take a joke anymore? Well, have you, punk?

Peruvians are the latest group to cry foul. Someone made a joke about them and they didn’t like it. Well, we know Peruvians, some of our best friends are Peruvians, but let’s face it – Peruvians are pretty darn hilarious. Maybe it’s the funny hats.

Anyway, the someone making the Peruvian joke – did you hear the one about the two llamas who walked into a bar? – was the ABC hit show “Modern Family.”

The Peruvian-offending dialogue came during an argument between Jay, played by Ed O’Neill, and his (spicy) Colombian wife Gloria, played by Sofia Vergara.

“Now, maybe in Colombia …” Jay begins.

“Ah, here we go,” Gloria interrupts. “Because, in Colombia, we trip over goats and we kill people in the street. Do you know how offensive that is? Like we’re Peruvians!”

Peruvian cyberspace (who knew?) lit up with criticism of ABC and Vergara, who brushed aside a torrent of insulting tweets. After one Twitter user asked her to clarify what happened with the script, the actress responded in Spanish: “Get a life!!!!!!”

(Note to recent college graduates: They speak Spanish in Peru.)

“It’s incredible that in a country where everything is politically correct, ABC would have a line of this sort,” said Milagros Lizarraga, founder of Peru USA Southern Ca, an online community that communicates through social media.

“Many Peruvians think this is no coincidence, that she knew what she was saying, because an actress has the power to say, ‘No, I can’t say this because it would hurt my image,”‘ Lizarraga said. “Unless she agrees with what she said.”

In Peru, Beatriz Merino, head of the People’s Defender’s Office, said she will try to talk to the U.S. ambassador about the episode.

“No country should have to be offended,” Merino told broadcaster Radioprogramas.

It’s a joke!

Lennon coin minted

The pride and prejudice of the British people have made themselves known and they (the British people) prefer John Lennon over Jane Austen.

Lennon was honored Friday with a commemorative coin struck by the Royal Mint. A public poll determined whose face should appear on the commemorative coin.

Lennon hammered Austen and several others in the balloting.

“The massive proportion of the vote he received shows clearly just how much his untimely death still resonates with the nation. He ranks alongside, and even ahead of, some of the greatest names in history,” said Dave Knight, director of Commemorative Coin at the Royal Mint, in a funny British accent.

The former Beatle joins William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, Charles Darwin and Florence Nightingale among British luminaries whose images have graced special coins.

The limited edition coin shows Lennon with long hair, sideburns and his trademark round glasses. It will have a face value of 5 pounds ($8) but will be sold for 44.99 pounds. Only 5,000 will be offered for sale.

Obama joke magnet

The Center for Media and Public Affairs has released the shocking results of a landmark study showing that late night comedians enjoy making jokes about Barack Obama.

The Washington-based think tank found that Obama was the most joked-about political figure this year through Labor Day. The Center said Friday that Jay Leno, David Letterman, Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon joked about Obama a total of 309 times. Sarah Palin, with 137, was a distant second. No jokes were made about Jane Austen.

Obama’s numbers are in line with the level of jokes levied at Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Comics initially had a difficult time zeroing in on Obama – he was fourth behind John McCain, Bush and Palin as a butt of jokes during the year he was elected president.
